Just how fast is BBC message board going down hill (19&20/04/04)

[Notts Exile]

Just as long as he doesn't come over here! (I might have to mis-spell his name again!!)

[Richie Benauds Love Child]

If it was anyting like Clive "uber-irate" Wilshin resignation, it wont be on long.

[Malcolm W]

It is just a matter of time believe me... By the way I was wondering where everyone had gone. I tend to be away from home too often to follow closely what is going on but had noticed that the standards were slipping fast.

Notts exile' little plug for this site has survived ! If I had to describe the BBC website at the moment it would be a really grotty unruly pub with two thick bouncers who only barr URL addresses, and poor old Helen D is the poor old bar Person holding it all together.

Hi guys. I hope we can get a decent level of rant/debate going here.

You could go and beard him in his own den.

I'm sure Vinoth can be found in the India department. Though I suppose the childish tactic of hitting him with some clever quip and then running back to the English board where he is not allowed will eventually pale.

I'm not sure that I'm totally prepared for an argument beginning "ner, ner, n-ner ner, our batters are better than your-aws"
because it isn't true.

It is tempting but if mike is even handed, I might get knobbled myself, which is fair enough I guess.

However I did have a look at the India bit, today I think, and poor Vinoth has started eight or so threads without reply.

He's probably getting a bit lonely.

Vinoth has been banned form this one, which in one sense is a shame because he wasnt always shocking, but good in another way a precident has been set. if the same rules were to apply on the beeb the members would be down by half.

Obviously if you could advertise another site it may well be empty.

Good to see it hasnt gone the same way here, despite the subject moving away from cricket on occaision.

To date around 25 replies to my resignation have been pulled from the BBC MB thread. What is going on there?
